Patent EP-1117092-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEONHARDT MICHAEL LAWRENCE
IPC: G11B21/08
Filed: 1998-11-30
Abstract: The optical servo system for a medium drive (600) can provide
additional capabilities beyond the provision of read/write head
positioning information. Auxiliary information formed on the second side
(101) of tape (100) can include encryption/authentication data, tape
identification data or even maintenance information and read only data;
parameters can be recorded on tape to indicate its initial state as well
as manufacturing data. The optical servo system for a tape drive (600)
can then obtain a measure of the wear on tape. Furthermore, the system
can view the image of head between loads of tape to verify head
integrity and identify any optical feature defects. 
     The servo tracks (110) can be coded to provide data relating to
longitudinal positioning of tape to enable high speed searching or be
used for tape velocity determination. This auxiliary information is
encoded into the servo tracks during the servo track writing process
using modulation that can be separated out from the basic servo signals
by the digital signal processor (609). The auxiliary information is then
supplied to other drive or system processes in step (909).

Abstract: An electronic controller unit (10) is formed of first and
second base plates (12, 14) parallel to one another and spaced
apart having a flexible substrate circuit board (36) thereon
with an intermediate portion (62) of the circuit board (36)
extending between the two base plates (12, 14). A connector
(16) is joined to the intermediate portion (62) of the circuit
board (36) between the two base plates (12, 14) and is sealed
to an edge (18) of each base plate (12, 14) to form one side
of the unit housing. A three-sided frame (22) is joined to the
other three sides of the two base plates (12, 14) to
completely enclose the circuit board (36). The two major sides
of the unit are formed by separate base plate (12, 14) pieces
that are severed from an integral frame (52, 54) after the
flexible circuit (36) is bonded thereto. This allows the unit
to be manufactured without bending of a rigid plate having the
flexible circuit (36) mounted thereto.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for predicting load unbalance in an appliance is provided for an
appliance having a vessel configured to receive a supply of material and rotatable about an
axis. A control is arranged and configured to rapidly accelerate a rotation of the vessel,
determine an amount of energy with which the vessel has engaged the relatively stationary
part, compare the amount of energy with a predetermined value and send a signal indicative
of an unbalance condition if the amount of energy exceeds the predetermined value. The
vessel may be rotated by use of an electric motor such as a controlled induction motor and the
control can be used to measure the electric current drawn by the motor and through
manipulation of the current, determine the amount of energy with which the vessel engages
the stationary part of the appliance.

Abstract: A robot controller for use in a robot control system with a plurality of
robots connected one another through a communication path. When a cause
for stopping occurs in one or more robots, other robots are also stopped in the
same type of stopping procedure. A priority of execution on a plurality of
stop procedure types is determined. When a cause for stopping occurs in one
or more robots in the robots connected through the communication line or in
the robots in synchronously cooperative operation, all of the robots connected
through the cominunication line or the robots in synchronously cooperative
operation are stopped in the same type of stopping procedure. If different
causes for stopping occur in the robots, a stopping procedure type having
higher priority in the stopping procedures determined in accordance with the
different causes of stopping is adopted to stop all of the robots in the same type
of stopping procedure. Since the robots are stopped in the same type of
stopping procedure, displacement of relative positions of the robots in
synchronously cooperative operation is made small.
